In a non-restrictive example, feature 30 has the refractive index different with baseplate material.Can realize the difference of refractive index in the mode of any hope.In a non-restrictive example, feature 30 can (1) have and the different density of substrate of surrounding its next-door neighbour (immediate vicinity), for example higher density; (2) have and the different composition of substrate that surrounds its next-door neighbour; Or (3) are different with the substrate that surrounds its next-door neighbour on mechanics, for example, have localization stress area and/or comprise crack in the substrate.As used herein, " next-door neighbour " refers to and leaves the distance of feature 30 in 10 microns to 1 millimeter scope, such as less than 1000 microns, such as less than 500 microns, such as less than 200 microns.Feature 30 can have the refractive index different with substrate 12 on every side.In a non-restrictive example, feature 30 can have the refractive index different with material on every side, for example higher refractive index.For example, feature 30 can have the refractive index that differs (for example higher) at least 0.002 with on every side material, than the refractive index of the substrate 12 that surrounds its next-door neighbour such as high by 0.004, such as high by 0.006, such as high by 0.008, such as high by 0.01, such as high by 0.02, such as high by 0.03, such as high by 0.05, such as high by 0.07, such as high by 0.09, such as high by 0.1, such as high by 0.2, such as high by 0.3, such as high by 0.5, such as high by 0.7, such as high by 0.9, such as high by 1.0.Change of refractive between feature 30 and the material on every side can be mild (gradual) or unexpected.For discrete feature (such as among Fig. 1 to 2A those), the comparable continuous feature 30 shown in Figure 3 of change of refractive (it is desirable to the more unexpected variation of refractive index, to prevent or reduce electromagnetic energy " leakages " outside continuous feature) is milder.
For glass substrate 12, when top (1) where applicable, feature 30 will be made by glass, and can have with its next-door neighbour in the different density of glass, for example higher density.When top (2) where applicable, feature 30 can be for example produced by the polymerization of the monox network in the block of glass substrate 12, and described polymerization can be used as sodium atom and moves in the glass and leave the result of feature 30 and take place.When top (3) where applicable, can in glass substrate 12, form localized stresses and/or crack in substrate 12, to produce new interface.
According to the present invention, feature 30 can be any shape, and various features 30 can be identical or different shape.In the non-restrictive example shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, feature 30 has 400 nanometers to 1 millimeter, the length (observing from the side) in 1 micron to 5 microns the scope for example.Each feature 30 can have identical or different size.Embodiment illustrated in figures 1 and 2 utilizes a plurality of single features 30 that separate.In Fig. 1, at least some in delegation in (in a plane) arrangement of features 30.In Fig. 2 and Fig. 2 A, at least some in different row in (that is, different plane in) arrangement of features 30.Display board 10 can comprise the feature 30 that is in one or more plane and has one or more orientation.In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, feature 30 is taked to pass substrate 12 and extend and have the waveguide of first end 32 and second end 34 or a form of conduit to small part.Feature among Fig. 3 can have the tubular in shape such as the cross section of any hope of circle, ellipse, polygon (for example, square, triangle etc.) etc.First and second ends 32,34 need not stop on one in the surface of substrate 12, and can begin in substrate 12 and finish.
With at first describing the example fabrication method of display board 10 of the present invention, the operation of the various embodiment of display board 10 will be described then with reference to Fig. 4.The exemplary apparatus 40 that is used to make display device of the present invention shown in Figure 4.Equipment 40 comprises the holding device 42 that is used for keeping (hold) and fixing base 12.Equipment 40 also comprises laser instrument 44 and condenser lens 46.Randomly, equipment 40 also can comprise or utilize conventional prism 48.Film 51 such as the refractive index match fluid of water can be between the surface of prism 48 and substrate 12.
In order to form feature 30 in substrate 12, adjustment equipment 40 makes the focus of laser instrument 44 be in the substrate 12.When laser instrument 44 was energized, electromagnetic radiation was passed condenser lens 46 and is passed prism 48 and arrives in the substrate 12.Be an angle and aim at the reflection loss that (point) will occur with respect to substrate surface if prism 48 helps to reduce laser instrument 44.Refractive index match fluid such as oil can place between prism 48 and the substrate 12.At the focus place, electromagnetic radiation for example causes forming feature 30 by density and/or the optical property that changes baseplate material.Be appreciated that owing to laser instrument 44 is an angle 52 with respect to the surface of substrate 12 from Fig. 4 and locate that therefore, the longitudinal axis 54 of feature 30 also will be from the base plan 58 skew similar angle 56 of passing feature 30.After forming a feature 30, can activate mobile device 50 so that substrate 12 is shifted, thereby in substrate 12, the focus of laser instrument 44 be reorientated.Can activate laser instrument 44 once more then, and in substrate 12, form another feature 30.If only 58 translations along the plane of substrate 12 cause the structure of all structures as shown in Figure 1 so.Based on the angle of laser instrument 44 with respect to substrate 12, feature 30 will typically have oval or round-shaped, for example have diameter in the scope that is in 400nm to 1mm (if ellipse then is major axis), such as 400nm to 300 micron, such as 400nm to 200 micron, such as 400nm to 100 micron, such as 400nm to 50 micron, such as 400nm to 10 micron, such as 400
Nm to 5 micron, such as 400nm to 1 micron.The feature 30 of per unit area that is appreciated that the more little and substrate 12 of the diameter of feature 30 is few more, and then feature 30 will be sightless more for bore hole.
If substrate 12 direction translation of 58 but also change distance apart from laser instrument 44 along the plane so, can form the structure of all structures as shown in Figure 2 so.If substrate 12 translations and rotation or rotation can form the structure of structure shown in Fig. 2 A so.
Scheme as an alternative, equipment 40 can be used to form as shown in Figure 3 cylinder or the feature 30 of tubular form.Columniform feature 30 can be straight or crooked, and as optical channel or waveguide and work.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that feature 30 in order to form tubular-like, can be to locate substrate 12 with similar mode shown in Figure 4.The focus of laser instrument 44 can be positioned in substrate 12 such as near the edge of lower limb or its, and laser instrument 44 is activated.When laser instrument 44 is activated (for example producing pulse), can uses mobile device 50 with the position of moving substrate 12 lentamente or incrementally, thereby form the feature 30 of tubular-like shown in Figure 3 with the focus of adjusting laser instrument 44.
The operation of the various non-limiting examples of display board 10 of the present invention will be described now.Referring to Fig. 1, feature 30 forms in substrate 12, and is positioned as formation pattern or image when being illuminated.The observation surface 26 of the display board 10 when for example, Fig. 5 a illustrates display board 10 and is not illuminated.By observing with bore hole, feature 30 may be can not detected or only be a little can be detected.This is because the little size of feature 30.But, return Fig. 1, when electromagnetic radiation source (for example, light source 60) is activated and is oriented at substrate 12 places, for example during right hand edge 24 places at substrate 12, is directed in the inside of substrate 12 from least some of the electromagnetic radiation 62 of light source 60.
As can be seen from Figure 1, when electromagnetic radiation 62 contacted with feature 30, at least a portion of the radiation 62 of Impact Characteristic 30 was redirected towards observing surface 26 from its original path.Therefore, the small mirror in reflection of feature 30 picture or path that electromagnetic radiation 62 is redirected and working.The observation surface 26 of the display board 10 when Fig. 5 b illustrates light source 60 and illuminates is to disclose the image that forms by 30 radiation reflected of the feature from be arranged in substrate 12.
Embodiment shown in Figure 2 works in a similar fashion, with mainly towards observing surface 26 with radiation 62 orientations.But, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 2 A, along several different directions with radiation 62 orientations.
Embodiment shown in Figure 3 can be to work with the similar mode of aforesaid way.That is, light source 60 is close to first end 32 of elongated (elongated) features 30 and is positioned.When light source 60 is activated, passes first end 32 from the electromagnetic radiation 62 of light source 60 and enter in the feature 30, and be directed to second end 34 from first end 32.Because the refractive index difference between feature 30 and the glass on every side, the light that enters feature 30 is not reflected out and gets back in the glass substrate, but is retained in the feature 30.
Of the present invention widely aspect in, feature 30 can be three-dimensional, and can have any aspect ratio.Each feature 30 can have identical or different aspect ratio.Feature 30 can be orientated with any angle with respect to the surface of substrate 12.Various features 30 can be orientated with identical or different angle.For example, one or more feature 30 can be with respect to the surface 26 of passing its substrate that will observe image 12 with 45 ° angle and be orientated.The quantity of the feature 30 of the per unit area in the substrate can change in any manner.
According to the present invention, when one or more surface of substrate 12 was illuminated, image was visible by at least one surface of substrate 12.As mentioned above, one or more surface of illuminating substrate comprises edge light.In non-restrictive example, image on the comparable surface at other on the surface of substrate 12 is being more visible (that is, on the surface of image at substrate 12 than stronger on the surface at other).Preferentially be redirected rather than when directed randomly, this effect can occur when the feature in the substrate 12 30 is designed to cause illumination light along a direction.
In a non-restrictive example, feature 30 mainly will be from the light-redirecting of the Impact Characteristic 30 of light source 60 along a direction." mainly " mean greater than 50% the light that is redirected and advance along a predetermined direction, for example, the light that is redirected greater than 75%, for example, or greater than 85% the light that is redirected.In other words, in a predetermined manner anisotropically with the light orientation, rather than along all directions isotropically with the light orientation.Scheme as an alternative, from Fig. 2 A be appreciated that feature 30 can be grouped with along several different directions with light-redirecting.For example, one group feature 30 can be along first direction with light-redirecting, and the feature 30 of another group can be along different directions with light-redirecting.
The image that can show what type about display board 10 without limits.For example, the form of image can be words, different shape, sign, symbol etc.By using different band color light source 60, pass substrate 12 visible shades of colours.
In non-restrictive example, in substrate 12, show different images according to what surface of illuminating substrate 12.For example, can show " NO " when surperficial when one that illuminates substrate 12, and, when illuminating another surface, can show " YES ".
In another non-restrictive example, a plurality of surfaces that can illuminate substrate 12 with different band color light source 60 simultaneously are to show multicolor image.Scheme as an alternative, different features 30 can preferentially reflect the electromagnetic radiation of different wave length.Therefore, a plurality of features of illuminating with same light source 30 are orientable or reflect multiple color.
According to the present invention, because the feature 30 in the substrate can be along one or more specific direction with the light orientation when one or more surface of substrate 12 is illuminated, therefore, display board 10 can be used for various purposes with light-redirecting.For example, display board 10 can be to be used in the room along the skylight of specific direction with the day light-redirecting.
According to the present invention, the light source 60 that is used for illuminating the surface of substrate can be any light source that can be used to provide at substrate the message, label, sign, advertisement etc. of hope.Scheme as an alternative, light source 60 can provide such as the electromagnetic radiation in the nonvisible wavelength scope of infrared (IR) and/or ultraviolet (UV) wavelength coverage, and, feature 30 can be configured to make them only to reflect radiation in these invisible scopes, to form for bore hole invisible but available suitable wave filter, lens or the detected image of receiver.Suitable light source is including but not limited to visible wavelength lasers device, Halogen lamp LED and incandescent lamp, versicolor LED, IR radiation source and UV radiation source etc.Illuminating of surface can be directly from light source 60, perhaps indirectly for example from the optical fiber that is right after light source 60.Illuminated surface makes light source 60 can be placed in apart from a certain distance of article indirectly.
In non-restrictive example, suitable light source is the direct natural light of sunray for example.
